Pirate Radio Essex from the LV18 at Harwich 2017

Phil Perkins and myself were determined to arrive at Harwich well before 11:00 to witness the scattering of the ashes of the late Dave Cash - A really great guy with whom we had chatted in 2004 and 2007. We met so many people and had a great day, but this part was the most memorable part of the day

On the previous evening (13th), was Keith Skues' 3 hour programme live from the LV18 about The Pirates from 1964-1967

On the evening of the 14th, BBC Radio 2 aired an interesting programme about The Pirates by Johnny Walker which you can hear again

In the daytime of the 14th Steve Scruton and others broadcast a solid 6 hours of radio as it should be. This started at 9 a.m. so please note the shortened silences when Dave Cash's ashes were scattered at 11 a.m.

This was followed by a one hour programme by Ray Clark from the Ross Revenge, featuring also Radio Caroline and Manx Radio you can listen here
